Artists bring the cultural history of trees to Mumbai

The exhibition at Mumbai’s Nature Morte features paintings by Delhi-based artists Thukral and Tagra, exploring the relationship between the real and digital worlds. Inspired by landscapes from Japan, Kashmir, and Gurgaon, the artists reflect on mobility, conflict, and the concept of home. They see trees as cultural artefacts that witness social and political transitions, drawing inspiration from their memories of nature. The glitch in their work symbolizes disruption and imperfection, highlighting the impact of technology on memory and perception. Their upcoming solo show in the USA and participation in a festival in Goa showcase their unique perspective on art and nature.
